Event Details

Arguably the biggest sporting event in the Cook Islands, Vaka Eiva is an international paddling competition held every November that sees paddlers from all around the world travel to Rarotonga to compete against the best of the best in an intense but fun-filled, week-long event.

Cook Islands Canoeing Association (CICA) is the governing body for outrigger canoeing (Vaka) and kayak in the Cook Islands. We host not only the National calendar races and events but also the world-renowned week-long International Matson Vaka Eiva Festival held every November. 2017 Vaka Eiva runs from 24th November to 1st December.

The Cook Islands are also a destination on the International circuit of Te Aito; the worlds premier elite V1 racing calendar. We start Oe Vaka early through our very successful youth development schools program BSP Vaka Iti encompassing K1, K2, V1, V3, V6, V12 lagoon sprints and V1, V3 & V6 marathon racing.
